This is a true acoustic archtop guitar with a solid quarter-sawn spruce top. This is one finest guitars of its kind that I have ever seen, heard and played. It has a warm, rich voice and incredible sustain. It is a fantastic gypsy jazz guitar. The pickup has been added. It is a Benedetto Mini Suspended Humbucker with thumb wheel controls mounted on the edge of the solid ebony pick guard. Macassar Ebony highlights on the headstock front and back. The bridge and tailpiece are solid ebony as well. Curly Maple sides and back.
